Supplies and facilities were meager the first few years. Teachers didn’t have everything they needed to conduct classes. There was only one pencil sharpener in the school. There was a constant parade of students and teachers who came to the office to sharpen pencils. •Robert D. Stalick The gym didn’t have any bleachers yet and little equipment had arrived, so students played a lot two person, one wall handball in tne main gym. Playing fields were not landscaped when the school was first oc- cupied. Many times students spent their PE. period gathering rocks so they could keep from getting injured. We had lots of volleyballs and three nets but no standards for the nets. The students took turns holding up the nets so we could play. -Mrs. Pat Archibald Looking back teachers remember the pride students had then and how it has grown. “It took South a good three years to develop school pride, spirit, and to stand alone without West,” commented Mrs. Faye Bohles. There has been a freedom and opportunity for us all to grow as much as our ambitions allow or drive us. -Mrs. June Swedberg Through the years a strong student body has developed a dedication to its school and to each student that is a part of it. “There has been a freedom, ana oppotuni- ty for us all to grow as much as our ambi- tions allow or drive us,” stated Mrs. June Swedberg. I believe that South Albany High School has turned out to be much of what we thought it would be, an innovative school, one that offers a lot of programs. -Robert D. Stalick Asst. Superintendent 3
